  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The function e (−1/x 2) is not analytic at x = 0: the Taylor series is identically 0, although the function is not. If f ( x ) is given by a convergent power series in an open disk centred at b in the complex plane (or an interval in the real line), it is said to be analytic in this region.

    For any given n ≥ 1, among the polynomials of degree n with leading coefficient 1 (monic polynomials): = is the one of which the maximal absolute value on the interval [−1, 1] is minimal. This maximal absolute value is: 1 2 n − 1 {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2^{n-1}}}} and | f ( x ) | reaches this maximum exactly n + 1 times at: x = cos ...

  4. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  5. Estrin's scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrin's_scheme

    In numerical analysis, Estrin's scheme (after Gerald Estrin), also known as Estrin's method, is an algorithm for numerical evaluation of polynomials.. Horner's method for evaluation of polynomials is one of the most commonly used algorithms for this purpose, and unlike Estrin's scheme it is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the number of multiplications and additions required to evaluate ...

  6. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    for some polynomial p k of degree 2(k − 1). The function tends to zero faster than any polynomial as , so f is infinitely many times differentiable and f (k) (0) = 0 for every positive integer k. The above results all hold in this case:

  7. Polynomial method in combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_method_in...

    Recently, the polynomial method has led to the development of remarkably simple solutions to several long-standing open problems. [1] The polynomial method encompasses a wide range of specific techniques for using polynomials and ideas from areas such as algebraic geometry to solve combinatorics problems.

  8. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    Here we consider operations over polynomials and n denotes their degree; for the coefficients we use a unit-cost model, ignoring the number of bits in a number. In practice this means that we assume them to be machine integers.

  9. Finite strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory

    The deformation gradient , like any invertible second-order tensor, can be decomposed, using the polar decomposition theorem, into a product of two second-order tensors (Truesdell and Noll, 1965): an orthogonal tensor and a positive definite symmetric tensor, i.e., = = where the tensor is a proper orthogonal tensor, i.e., = and ...
